Glad I went with ductless in the kitchen
I freed up space for more lower cabinets and the mini split is quite attractive
For a long time I just had a cold kitchen. I started out with a pellet stove which was a terrible source of heating. I then changed over to setting a space heater on the kitchen table. I hated that my kids were eating their cereal around a giant heating system. I finally told my husband that we were going to have something better. I then installed a ventless heater in our kitchen. It did the job much better than anything else. The snag was that the heater wasn’t too big and the kitchen let in a lot of cold air. There are a lot of windows and the tile gets cold in the wintertime. The ventless heater also had this annoying habit of blowing icy cold air when it wasn’t providing heating. It frequently would get clogged up with dust and I would use the air compressor to blow it out. It was a messy, dirty project when that came up. It didn’t really help matters that much either. Now I have a bit more money and I got serious about my heating situation. I actually called a HVAC professional and scheduled an appointment. He recommended a ductless mini split for my case. I now have a ductless heater mounted on the wall by my ceiling. I freed up space for more lower cabinets and the mini split is quite attractive. Best of all it heats my whole kitchen up without a hitch. I even have the ability to give the kitchen cooling in the summertime if I so choose. I wish I would have gotten this system years ago.
